Like a Tree 02:42
Refrain: Like a tree by the flowing water, growing deeper, stretching high Like a tree by the flowing water, connected to the source of life Verse 1 Blessed, blessed are we to abide in God’s Word, Nourished through every season; blessed are we. Verse 2 Planted, planted by grace, we are rooted in God’s design Freely, freely abiding, planted by grace Verse 3 Trusting, trusting our lives to the holy way of God, We will, we will surrender, trusting our lives.

Going out and coming in the Holy One keeps us Going out and coming in the Holy One sings

Celebrate the One to whom we all belong, the One Who does great marvels everyday  Celebrate the memories of faithful help that make the future full of hope and faith This love This love is forever, this love This love is forever, this love This love is forever, this love  Celebrate the one creative source of life who paints and sings and dances with us all Celebrate the universal artist's work- the sky, the earth, the sun, the moon & stars This love Celebrate the One who claimed a land for us, who led us to a place to call our own Celebrate provision for our every need, who always welcomes each of us back home This love Celebrate the One who rescued Israel who long ago led people through the sea Celebrate the journey of deliverance through wilderness and danger to be free This love

Deep down in a hole like where Joseph was thrown by his brothers, left alone to die I waited and cried ’til I heard a new song rise, ’til I heard a new song rise  A life of trust, a life of trust  When we are afraid or weak a life of trust is deepening A life of trust Neck deep in the mud, I remembered my friend Jeremiah  left to ache and starve I waited and cried  ’til I felt my body rise, ’til I felt my body rise

The Holy Way 02:21
The Holy Way is reviving our souls This path is making us wise The Holy Way is rejoicing our hearts Such sweet light for our eyes Let us write it on our hearts  Let us write it on our hearts  Let us write it on our hearts where we live always

Stronghold 02:35
Stronghold, joy of the earth Stronghold, joy of the earth Keeping nothing out, strong enough holding everything in Keeping nothing out, strong enough holding everything in oh, everything in Feel the eastern wind, see our ancestors crossing the sea Feel the eastern wind, see our ancestors crossing the sea oh, crossing the sea Keeper of the world, fortress and lighthouse, covenant love Keeper of the world, fortress and lighthouse, covenant love oh, covenant love
7.
When we are afraid, we pour our trust into you When we are afraid, we pour our trust into you We are changing as we trust you, stretching into something new When we are afraid, we pour our trust into you The wanderer's tears you're holding close to your heart The wanderer's tears you're holding close to your heart We are changing as we trust you, stretching into something new The wanderer's tears you're holding close to your heart We sing with the world and feel the pulse of the Christ We sing with the world and feel the pulse of the Christ We are changing as we trust you, stretching into something new We sing with the world and feel the pulse of the Christ

Overwhelmed with the weight of what we had done The river of God is flowing full Mercy washed over us like a wild flood The river of God is flowing full Water for the fields from forgiving rain The river of God is flowing full And the sun shining down, everything ripening The river of God is flowing full The River of God Oh, music in the air moving through the day The river of God is flowing full Joy singing in the morning 'til evening fades The river of God is flowing full Running wide and open, fresh and old The river of God is flowing full Water dark with wonder, deep and slow The river of God is flowing full

Where can I go from your presence      or hide from your love?  Where can I go from your presence      or hide from your love?  You have searched me and you know me, when I rest and rise.  You can trace my every journey. You know all my ways,  You know all my ways.  Now before I left my mother, nurtured in her womb There you knit my life together full and wonderful, full and wonderful.  All my days are in your keeping. Search my heart, O God.  May your Holy Spirit fill me.  I will bear your heart,  I will bear your heart

Desert Blues 02:26
In the desert I am waiting, I am waiting for you      for the water of a word with you In the desert I am waiting, I am waiting for you       and the sky is crystal clear You're gone  At your mercy out here in the heat Feel the empty and everybody here knows what I mean In the desert I've been searching, I've been searching for you       Are you M.I.A. or are you late?  In the desert I've been searching, I’ve been searching for you       and my lungs are burning up You're gone At your mercy out here in the heat Feel the empty and everybody here knows what I mean In the desert I am dreaming, I am dreaming of you      and the possibilities from here In the desert I am dreaming, I am dreaming of you      It's a season for the desert blues

Into green pastures, beside the still waters Along the good paths and through the dark valleys All of my days God's mercy follows All of my days God’s love surrounds  All of my days, all of my days Among my enemies, you call me to table Your deepest blessing my cup overflows  Always in God’s heart, I shall be forever Always in God’s heart, I shall be forever
12.
Take cover Take cover in love Take cover Take cover in love You live in a safe house You live under a shield of mighty wings  Because you're in deep love, you live into a life that's all about trusting God's way is a fortress like the country you love and call your home  God's way is a journey like the hope of the morning leading us on My people will trust me like a place that you hide when you are scared  My people live in me You will carry your faith wherever you dare

I Lay Open 02:25
I lay open my whole life to you, trusting you, o Holy One.
14.
I have kept to your paths, the way of life, Kept to your paths all along. Hear me and show me your love. Hear me and show me your love. I am longing for you to show your face. Oh the road, it's been rough.  Hear me and show me your love. Hear me and show me your love. In the morning I will wake with tired eyes, and as for me beholding your face is more than enough.  Hear me and show me your love. Hear me and show me your love. You can visit by night and test my heart. Come now & see what I'm made of. Hear me and show me your love. Hear me and show me your love.  When in danger, guard my life beneath your wings and hear my voice.  I am a flower just longing to bud.  Hear me and show me your love. Hear me and show me your love.

In my bones I know you're calling me to compassion more than before. In my blood I feel you leading me into action more than before Holy One, who is helping the poor? Holy One, who? Who is like you? Holy One, who is ready to go? Holy One, who? Who is like you? In my bones I know you're counting me in your vision more than before In my blood I feel you're giving me strength to listen more than before In my bones I know you're knitting me into Jesus more than before In my blood I feel you're easing all of my reasons more than before.

The whole planet prospers in your care,      thriving within your design Your own trees, your rivers and your birds--      everything is satisfied Breathe into the earth, Holy One, and renew us. It’s a new day Breathe into the earth, Holy One, and renew us.  It’s a new day All of life in rhythm with your breath—      everything is in its place All our days, our nights, our seasons turn—     life and death and holy change We will sing for you for all our lives,      sing as long as we have breath We will sing for you for all our lives,      sing as long as we have breath

La Noche 04:26
Where can I go to flee your love? Where could I run to hide away? The highest heaven? You are there. The deepest depth? You’re there the same.  La noche resplandece como͜ el dia para Ti La noche resplandece como͜ el dia para Ti If I could fly on wings at dawn to find the far side of the sea,  still there your hand would lead me on. Still there your love would hold me safe. If I should try to hide at night  when darkness covers all my way,  you laugh for all's the same to you: The night shines just as bright as day My ways, O God, you've always known. You knit me in my mother's womb.  I praise you for your wondrous work and all the days you've seen me through. How precious are your thoughts, O God, Your knowledge of us night and day.  To list them all, I'd fall asleep, and in the morn with you I'd wake.
